Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS THE TRANSMISSION SEEMS TO FLOAT BETWEEN GEARS AS IF TRYING TO FIND THE PROPER GEAR. NORMALLY IT TAKES SO LONG THAT I HAVE TO PUSH DOWN ON THE GAS TO FORCE THE TRUCK TO SHIFT. IT DOES TO A LOWER GEAR WHICH MAKES IT JUMP FROM THE EXCESS POWER. AT HIGH SPEEDS, PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL IS NON RESPONSIVE AS THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO LOOK FOR THE RIGHT GEAR. A MANUAL FIX FOR SAFETY PURPOSES (ESPECIALLY IN TRAFFIC AND NEED AN ANSWER FROM MY TRANSMISSION) IS TO CHANGE IT TO MANUAL SHIFTING WHERE I CONTROL THE GEARS. THIS IS A BAND AID FIX AT THE MOMENT AND IS QUITE INTERESTING THAT I AM ABLE TO SHIFT MY VEHICLE BETTER THAN A COMPUTER. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS ISSUE. I AM GOING TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT AS I READ IN THE NUMEROUS REPORTS FROM OTHER 2015 CANYON OWNERS....GMC IS NOT ADMITTING OR DOES NOT HAVE A FIX. THIS ISSUE OCCURS ALL THE TIME SO SELECTING A DATE OF WHEN THIS ISSUE HAPPENED IS NOT EFFECTIVE.
